While conceding Russia's megatonic output of scientists and engineers, U.S. educators are fond of a theory that Soviet schools suppress the humanities-subjects that supposedly thrive in U.S. schools. To "shatter that illusion" is a goal of English Professor Arther S. Trace Jr., member of the Russian study center at Cleveland's John Carroll University...
...instruments of the orchestra were not the same 400 years ago, and this fact was responsible for one of the concert's most definite successes--an interesting novelty in sound and tone--but also for its only trace of weakness. Proficiency on such instruments as the cromorne (a woodwind) or the viele (a string about the size of the violin but held like a cello) is not often in demand, and so it is not surprising that the Cambridge ensemble should impress one more by vivacious spirit of performance than by craftsmanship of execution...
...vibrations in the earth, air and ocean. The light given off by the explosion can tell a great deal about the size, height and development of the fireball. Analysis of the radioactive residue caught by filters on high-flying airplanes can reveal the composition of the Russian explosive and trace its nuclear reactions...
...year, "feeling darned lucky because at that price they had so little string on me." In two years she used her freedom for pioneer work on microbial genetics, and found her research specialty -a bright red bacterium called serratia marcescens, whose color makes it easy to trace...
...coils must be wound with wire so fine it's hardly visible. Our diamond tip must be perfectly rounded and polished to .0007"--that's seven TEN-THOUSANDTHS of an inch. And, most important of all, the whole needle and needle-arm assembly must be perfectly free to trace grooves as fine as 2,000 vibrations per inch (our math upon request); must be perfectly free from resonances in the range of frequencies possible in the plastic; must be mounted in such a way that it remains perfectly centered at the resting point, with relation magnet to coils...
